Alright.  This means that (most likely) your laptop is asking your router 
to resolve rsync.gentoo.org and that router is giving back bad 
response(s), at least at first.  You should check the configuration of the 
DNS server on the router.

If you need further assistance, I'll need to know more about your router, 
specifically it's firm- and software.  Also, if the router isn't running 
Gentoo, we may need to take this off-list of (at least) mark further 
messages as off-topic.

If you want to confirm the problem is with the router, break out your 
generic DNS clients (dig/nslookup) and network monitoring tools (tcpdump 
et al.).  Of course, your router my simply be giving bad responses because 
it's getting bad responses from further upstream.
